Tiger MCP

# 🔐 Tiger MCP Security Guide ## 🛡️ **Security Architecture** ### Multi-Layer Security - **Transport Layer**: TLS 1.3 encryption for all communications - **Authentication**: JWT tokens with configurable expiration - **Authorization**: Role-based access control with account-specific permissions - **Data Protection**: AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive credentials - **Audit Trail**: Comprehensive security event logging ### API Key Management - **Scoped Access**: API keys restricted to specific accounts - **Permission Control**: Read-only vs trading permissions - **Token Rotation**: Support for key rotation without downtime - **Rate Limiting**: Protection against abuse and excessive usage ## 🔒 **Sensitive Files Protection** ### Files NEVER Committed to Git ```bash # Tiger API credentials (contains private keys and tokens) tiger_openapi_config.properties tiger_openapi_token.properties tiger_openapi_config.properties.* tiger_openapi_token.properties.* # Server configuration (contains API keys and account mappings) config/tiger_accounts.json .mcp.json # Environment files .env .env.local .env.production ``` ### Safe Example Files (Committed) ```bash # Template files for user configuration tiger_openapi_config.properties.example tiger_openapi_token.properties.example config/tiger_accounts.json.example .mcp.json.example ``` ## 🎯 **Security Best Practices** ### For Server Administrators 1. **Credential Management** - Store Tiger API credentials securely - Use separate credentials for different environments - Enable two-factor authentication on Tiger accounts 2. **API Key Distribution** - Generate unique API keys for each client - Implement key expiration and rotation - Monitor API usage and detect anomalies 3. **Network Security** - Run server behind firewall - Use HTTPS for external connections - Implement IP whitelisting for production ### For Client Users 1. **Account Security** - Use demo accounts for testing - Set trading limits and stop losses - Monitor account activity regularly 2. **API Key Safety** - Never share API keys in code or logs - Store keys in secure environment variables - Rotate keys periodically 3. **Trading Safeguards** - Start with small position sizes - Test strategies thoroughly in demo environment - Implement circuit breakers and risk limits ## 🚨 **Security Incident Response** ### Token Compromise 1. Immediately rotate affected API keys 2. Review audit logs for unauthorized access 3. Reset Tiger API credentials if necessary 4. Notify affected users ### Unauthorized Trading 1. Disable affected accounts immediately 2. Review all recent transactions 3. Implement additional authentication layers 4. Update security policies ## 📋 **Security Checklist** ### Pre-Production - [ ] All sensitive files added to `.gitignore` - [ ] Example configurations created with placeholder values - [ ] API keys generated and distributed securely - [ ] Rate limiting configured appropriately - [ ] Audit logging enabled and tested ### Production Deployment - [ ] Server deployed behind firewall - [ ] HTTPS enabled with valid certificates - [ ] Database credentials encrypted - [ ] Backup and disaster recovery tested - [ ] Security monitoring and alerting configured ### Ongoing Maintenance - [ ] Regular security audits and penetration testing - [ ] API key rotation schedule implemented - [ ] Security patches applied promptly - [ ] User access reviews conducted quarterly - [ ] Incident response procedures tested --- ## 🔍 **Security Reporting** Report security vulnerabilities to: [security@your-domain.com](mailto:security@your-domain.com) **We take security seriously and will respond to all reports within 24 hours.**
